I stare off into space a lot. It makes sense, statistically speaking that's where most of the stuff is.

What I’m doing with my life

Good question. What AM I doing with my life? I recently submitted my Master’s Thesis on the genetics of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and now I’m working short-term at the lab where I studied until I finish my projects and find employment elsewhere. I’m also writing terrible Doctor Who fanfiction in my spare time as a warm-up for writing my own novel.

I’m really good at

Making curries (spice grinders are the key to happiness)Now and then, delivering the perfect joke at the perfect momentRemembering music trivia (why? So many other things I could have used that recall ability for…)Sticking to routines hahahah no

The first things people usually notice about me

My glossy mane, strong hindquarters and graceful canter.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Book: Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

Movies: The Blues Brothers

Music: Everything by Kate Bush. Fair warning, I WILL leave you for her if she asks me to, I don’t care if she’s nearly twice my age.

Food: Augh I can’t choose. I love Indian cooking though, I’m running out of space in my spice cupboard because I insist on making everything from scratch. I try not to eat too much sugar but when I do it’s hard to go past a good hedgehog slice.

The six things I could never do without

The sound of birdsA blank pageGood coffeeGood storiesReal friendsStupid youtube videos when I should be asleep

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How other people see the world, and whether it's ever truly impossible to change someone's mind.

On a typical Friday night I am

At home, doing some combination of drinking, writing and cooking.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

Sometimes I get a bit emotional thinking about my favourite Doctor Who episodes.

You should message me if

Well the usual reasons, but also if you know somewhere in Perth I can get good quality tamarind paste.
